Modest Mouse play two new songs live

This past weekend, my favorite band in the world Modest Mouse headlined Sunday Night of Sasquatch. NPR streamed the concert and you can hear two new songs they played below. Lampshades on Fire shines brighter than Poison, landing in a middle ground between something funkier like Fly Trapped in a Jar and something more visceral like Whale Song. I'm not too worried about the sort of "meh" Poison though, these guys are production geniuses after all.

Check out the whole concert on NPR or just stream the two new ones on youtube below.
